curs, without displaying an error message dialog box.

sage dialog box will be displayed. Press the OK Button in the error message dia-

• Time-out Interval

The timeout interval can be set to between 1 and 10 (unit: s). Input the value by using the

The default setting is 3 s.

than 3 s, abnormal communications may occur.
